Hi Mark-

No, I meant latitude (second number).  Notice that before point 51 the values 
are increasing, but then they start decreasing.

The image didn't come through, could you resend.  I understand the
crossing of the prime meridian - it's the change in latitude direction
that I don't understand.  Perhaps he picture will make it clearer.

Well, not change direction so much as start over at the first longitude
again.  Same with latitude.
